O Scale – S Scale – Narrow Gauge West is the largest 2-rail O scale convention west of the Mississippi, the largest S scale convention west of the Mississippi, and is likely to become the largest narrow gauge convention west of the Mississippi.

Considering changing scales? O Scale – S Scale – Narrow Gauge West is a great place to investigate S scale and O scale. Both scales are oriented towards the craftsman, and there is a good supply of ready to run equipment to get you started. Many respond that they don’t have the space for S or O scale. While the equipment and models are larger, fewer are needed for a given space. S scale and O scale modelers tend to spend more time on each model, allowing more detailing (which is easier to see!). You don’t need a gymnasium to have a satisfactory modeling experience in S or O scale. If you build a switching layout with fully detailed hand laid track you might find you are more satisfied than if you built an empire in a smaller scale.
